TESTEMONAIL: Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Is this a new thing? I can't remember another example of a state or federal government entity openly imposing sanctions against a company because of their political activity. I mean, maybe they did it before and gave some bullshit reason, but never actually just coming right out and explicitly stating "We are punishing you because we don't like your political stance. Get your politics right or suffer the consequences!"

I've never heard of it before. Seems like an awful lot of blowback for just preventing the NRA from getting discounts as a protest of, you know, what they do. Sounds like they're framing it as an attack in an act of cowardice. That's what's so surreal to me is it would seem the exact opposite to me. They're protecting their business interests and making a statement. Seems kind of brave to me considering that there could apparently be blowback from the government...

You can't get out backward. You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting. If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

It seems like it is legal, because they're just threatening not to pass a law.

But...well, it's not a good look for Georgia. Makes you wonder what other businesses they might target on some spurious political agenda. That kind of thinking makes companies and investors nervous. Makes them think about looking for more stable operating environments.

I gave up about half way through season 4 and fuck did I feel a blast of good old fashioned catholic guilt. I mean zombies are the nearest thing I have to a religion and fuck if I could stand to watch one more episode of Rick fucking Grimes pretending he could be a hero or act or even develop some kind of rudimentary personality or fucking anything

I heard rumors that movie and TV production companies were considering pulling out of Georgia if this happens, including The Walking Dead. If true, the state would lose a ton of money.

You'll notice that this didn't stop Pence in Indiana.

It's important to remember that poverty is part of these assholes base agenda, not an undesirable side effect.

"Locals and authorities are quick to act on suspicions that wartime arms may be lurking in their midst. Even police were convinced by one elderly German who reported finding an old bomb in his backyard, only for bomb clearance staff to conclude that the item was, in fact, a zucchini."- Newsweek, 8/9/18

Yeah, but... it's the part where the guy says out loud that he's doing it to hurt a company for political reasons. If he had just said "Gosh, we sure are disappointed in youse guise"....... also, in an unrelated note, we're not doing that thing we were going to do that would have benefited your business. THAT would have been business as usual. Most of politics seems to be sticking it to people who ignore them when they tell them how to live. It's the explicit extortion for political allegiance that's new to me. Maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention.

Oh how I hope that happens. Can you imagine the state of Georgia reduced to an empty husk. My god it's beautiful.

It's a such a shame that all the great work William Sherman did there didn't stick.

As a former resident, I can verify whole-heartedly that the state is already pretty much at the empty husk phase. It certainly hasn't produced anything with a sense of meaningfulness and originality in years

And some of the great general's work stuck, just drive through Rabun County. I can tell you wholeheartedly that behind that Walmart facade is a writhing dying mess of cannonball shrapnel.
